[QUOTE="iHs, post: 657324, member: 8799"] I have a feeling that to get the best from the Libre, people will need to get their teststrips changed to Freestyle Optium and then a bg test csn be done using the handset as the meter instead of using another. I would imagine that Abbott will include some Optium strips in the starter pack. Accu chek Aviva strips tend to read bg at a slightly higher level than some of the other brans of teststrips but why this is so.......not sure. Many hospital diabetic clinics tend to use Abbott Optium bg meters but that might be because of the foil tie teststrip instead of strips in a tub. I stand to be corrected......ive just done a bg test using Optium Neo and done a test on the Aviva Expert and bg results were the same....7.3 and 7.2mmol [/QUOTE]
